OpenSAML user discussion

[Jochen van Waasen <>]

Well, basically they want to send a consultant from the services 
devision :-)

They suggested that I upgrade to WebSphere 7.0.0.7 with built-in SAML 
support ....
I will try to update my WebSphere 6.1 to the latest fix pack level, 
maybe this helps.

Should the org.w3c.dom.Text be in the xalan.jar ?

Thanks
Jochen
